So this got reported against a patchset which is not upstream yet, yet your
Fixes: points to a patch from ~year ago.

The right thing to do would be to take *that* fix and prepend your
not-upstrea-yet set with it.

Also, why does *this* fix need to go to all kernels which contain the patch in
Fixes?

All this sounds weird.
